refund is authorized during the first seven (7) calendar days of
the semester. From the 8th to the 14th calendar days, a 70 percent
refund is authorized; from the 15th to the 21st calendar days is
50 percent refund can be obtained, and after that, there will be

Academic Honesty
You are expected to be honest about doing your course work on your
own. Academic dishonesty is serious and will not be tolerated. SUU
Faculty now have access to anti-plagiarism databanks and software/services.
It is recomended to submit your own work for assignments. Unacceptable
behavior such as submitting someone else's work as your own, cheating
on examinations and plagiarism can result in a variety of penalties
such as resubmission of lessons, reexamination, and/or failure in
the course. If you do not have a clear understanding of these expectations,
please read the following web site about plagarism at http://ollie.dcccd.edu/library/Module4/M4-VII/plagar.htm,
and/or type the word plagarism in a web search engine and follow
several links until you do understand.
